Non-native Chinese teachers
Deepen your grasp of natural expression, context and meanings that do not map directly between Chinese and English.
Explain Chinese clearly. Teach with method.
One-to-one support for Chinese teachers, from word distinctions and classroom explanations to lesson plans and feedback, built around your real teaching questions. Individual teachers and school curriculum leads can start with one specific need.
Bring a real teaching question
Start with what happened in your classroom.
Developing Chinese teachers
You know the content but want help choosing examples, designing questions and turning grammar into active practice.
School and curriculum leads
Bring recurring classroom issues or lesson excerpts. We discuss your needs first, then agree on scope and format.
Questions worth bringing
A specific example gives us something to explore together.
How can students tell “又” from “再”?
A student says “明天我又来”. Instead of just giving the right word, how can you help them understand when each is used?
- Place both in real contexts such as “昨天来过、明天还来” and compare meaning and time cues.
- Prepare contrasting examples so students judge the context first, then form their own answers.
Students know the rule but will not speak.
Students can pass a multiple-choice test but cannot use the point in real conversation. What should come next?
- Turn the goal into a communication task, such as sharing a plan with a partner and asking a follow-up question.
- Reduce support step by step, from modelling to prompts to independent answers, and note where students need help.
Why does the same error keep coming back?
Students correct it in class, then repeat it next time. How can feedback lead into follow-up practice?
- Separate comprehension, word choice and habit, then address the most important one first.
- Guide correction with questions, recasts or contrasting examples, then review it in a new context.
From a question to a teaching idea
Work with the language and the classroom task.
Share your context
Tell us your students' ages, Chinese level, classroom language and the issue you want to solve. Schools can add team needs.
Provide materials
Bring a sentence or two, a textbook excerpt, a lesson plan or student answers. Remove names and other personal details.
Analyse and practise together
We discuss context, examples, explanations and task design, and turn ideas into explanations and activities you can use.
Apply and refine
Use the approach in class, then bring back new questions based on student responses to refine examples and practice.
Let's think through your next classroom question.
Tell us who you teach, what you are teaching and the one issue you most want to solve.
Before you enquire.
Can I discuss just one word or sentence?
Yes. Share the full sentence, its context and your current understanding. Specific questions are often easier to work through than broad topics.
Is this suitable for native-speaker teachers?
Yes, for teachers who want to refine explanations, interactive tasks or feedback. Non-native teachers can also explore language and Chinese–English meaning.
Can schools or training centres enquire?
Yes. Tell us about your team, number of teachers and shared challenges, and we will agree on scope and format.
Do I need a full lesson plan?
No. A textbook excerpt, a classroom question or one student answer is enough to start. Please remove student names and personal details.
Is this a teaching certification course?
No. It focuses on language understanding and practical teaching support, not certification or exam preparation.
How do I find out about times, language and fees?
Send an enquiry with your needs and availability. We will then discuss coach matching, language, format and fees.
